[@ShinChan-mz1cl]

Do you have videos that build cabinet using table saw?

[@PPMOCRG]

Thank you! This has been very useful for me. I am a new table saw owner. I'm sure that I'll be watching again, and your other videos.

[@---yu4ff]

What an uncommon pleasure it is to listen to such an articulate individual speak in a professional manner.

[@carlcox7332]

My favorite videos are stumpy and the wood whisperer. Theyre both easy to understand and listen to

[@wozzy7]

What an appropriately worded comment, very suiting and well described.

[@gcp02006]

That last tip-taping a piece of stock for support while running a piece on edge through the saw-awesome.

[@patchesofgreen3832]

Really like the idea of using two sided tape and an extra board for making the 60° bevels.

[@davidlowe5192]

Haven’t used that method but it is certainly a safer and probably more accurate way as you are not on the table insert but on the bed of the saw.

[@laurielyon7740]

I’ve watched the previous 3 editions of this series and I can’t imagine there exists a better discussion on the fundamental use of the table saw. Extremely well presented.

[@michaelgray3058]

I watch a lot of how-to videos, but very few are as insightful, direct and helpful as this series. Well done.

[@FullStackFool]

Nice to find someone who knows their woodworking stuff and can talk clearly and confidently to boot! Cheers for the series.

[@Trigg6978]

Thanks for making this series. As a newbie with no background in any of this it is very handy!

[@discerningx3375]

You rock James. I have been making dust for 30 years. I am a safer woodworker from watching your videos. And I always learn at least one new thing. I need to cut a partial depth angled taper (simple project idea, difficult order of operations haha) and you triggered me thinking about how to do this in a safe way.

[@adamalexander8460]

Oh my gosh, the dimples in the old miter bar worked amazing.

[@64maxpower]

It helps people that you respond to your comments. I appreciate your time

[@Arkronicus]

I haven't done any real woodworking in 40 years and now being semi-retired have decided to get back into it. I have found that your videos are very informative and entertaining and plan to keep watching. Thank you for all the helpful advice and I look forward to future videos.

[@llanman81]

Mind blown by the edge bevel part. Awesome tip!!

[@cfestudios7032]

Super helpful! Was having an issue with getting an end bevel correct and this solved it.

[@VanNelleX]

that last tip...awesome

[@suegomez241]

Thank you for posting these videos. I’m New to woodworking.

[@lpanebr]

I've been struggling with my miter wabbling in the channel and have it fixed now thanks to your tip! Thanks!!!

[@epiclegacy3458]

I know this video is older but thank you. I’m just starting out using my table saw. I’m making a frame for a mirror and I don’t have a miter saw. My dad says no problem you can do it with your table saw. So this was the best video ever. Very informative and you explain in a way newer people can understand. Thanks again.

[@isabell4831]

I have to watch your videos for a assignment for school and also put some tips down because in my class we use saws, I made a phone holder and it was pretty easy to make

[@chrisansari]

I don't know about anybody else but being reminded to click "Like" on a video works on me. I'm four videos into this series and just remembering now to click it.

[@ZombaJuice]

There are lots of tutorials out there, but few are straight to the point without fluff. This is super helpful--kudos to you and thanks

[@IsaKocoglu]

9:23 is gold advice Keep up the great advice 😉👍🏼

[@paul-ld9vh]

As always, you provide sound advice for your viewers. I really appreciate this because I had no role models to teach me anything about woodworking when I was a young man. Thanks again.

[@jackdotzman2908]

Couldn’t agree more, learned on my own.

[@nymets1104]

This video is absolute Gold, I have been trying to find a way to do a 30 degree beveled rip cut without assembling some crazy jig and this video saved me! Thanks!

[@MichaelFemia]

This really helped me improve my end bevels: thank you James. A couple additional things I noticed / screwed up, from a beginner perspective: I used a digital angle gauge to dial my blade right to 45.0 in relation to the table, but my end bevels were all inaccurate, ultimately because the zero clearance insert I was proud of making myself was actually raising my workpiece about 0.3-0.4 degrees in relation to the table. My power switch on the right, and the arbor tilts to the left- when using the left slot, it felt really unsafe to have to draw my hand across the kerf line to switch the power off: just felt like something that would require extra risk and vigilance, without any benefit compared to using the right slot. Altogether, thank you!!

[@800Viffer]

James Your knowledge and delivery are top notch 👍

[@normancarnahan4893]

Thanks, Stumpy I need to cut a 25-degree bevel edge on a chisel sharpening jig. You showed me a clever way to do that using my Powermatic table saw - using an auxiliary board between the work piece and the fence.

[@marks5603]

As a long time woodworker I have learned most of this, but almost always learn something from even your most basic videos. The value of thoroughly understanding the fundementals and practicing good habits, in any craft, can never be overstated. Thanks James!

[@Daijonism]

As someone who has only recently acquired a table saw this video is invaluable. Thank you so much.

[@huwdavies5264]

Hi James, This series is a must for anyone who has a table saw for experienced, intermediate or a new user, in what to do but more importantly what not to do. As you say at the beginning keeping your fingers in the right place is a really good idea. Cheers, Huw

[@derrickddub]

I appreciate these videos. I'm a newbie to this and I don't have a mentor, so I've found your series exceptionally helpful going through the basics.

[@nathall2244]

I'm loving this series. Excellent channel. Thank you!

[@hondafannn]

The piece right near the end of the video about cutting bevels less than 45 was what I was initially looking for. I read a how-to article on how it could be done but didn't quite understand it until you demonstrated it here. So.. thank you! A ton of good information.

[@pezmoz2835]

Great tips. I'm really enjoying this series. Thanks.

[@manuelbustos3776]

Thanks for sharing your videos and tips, very useful

[@dianahopkins7994]

I've now watched all five, all more than once, and taken plenty of Notes for myself to use later on. BRAVO!! Your voice is easy to listen to and very clear. I'm one of those people who hears the lyrics to songs in odd ways and everyone later laughs hysterically when they realize what I'm actually singing: "...so long. It's been good to know you" ... becomes "so long. It's been good linoleum." Well, if everyone spoke as clearly as you do then I would never be teased again!! I am so perfectly the person you had in mind as the Audience for the five videos in Table Saw 101. I needed every point you made. I am deeply appreciative of your clarity and succinct style of presenting the main ideas and also the crucial though small detail. Second BRAVO! I want to know more about the "school" you are doing or planning to do. How far along are you? Information? DHopkins

[@jlh5995]

Hey James, thanks for this great video tutorial on safely cutting bevels on the table saw .

[@bakermanxxx567]

Thank you Stumpy Nubs. Listening right to the end paid off for me. Now I see how an acute angled bevel cut is possible on the table saw! and I can do my own reducing door threshold :)

[@DanCarlyon1]

Thanks alot! I've really learnt so much in this series, I'm amazed that some people gave this a thumbs down these videos have without a doubt saved my fingers!!! Thanks Again!

[@davidallen5562]

Have been using TS for 30+ yrs & ashamed to admit I did not know of a couple of practices contained in this video. No wonder I disliked angle cuts so much. I inspired to mount a new attack on some of those cuts I've been avoiding. Great tips.

[@ralphgioielli8701]

Excellent video on how to cuts angles on the table saw. Very professionally done and very informative. Lots of good tips. Thanks for the tip on Fisch bits. I will have to start swapping out my mediocre set.

[@jackdotzman2908]

You do a terrific job of explaining your many great ideas of how to use woodworking tools to produce quality work......safely. Never fail to learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks for taking the time. JD in the Missouri

[@MonthlyCramps]

I have owned a 3 HP Unisaw for years and love it. I framed my basement with recycled wood and saved a lot of money by ripping. As I watched this I about jumped out of my chair when you described the various ways to get the work to kick back. My dad trained me to stand aside when cutting. Your explanation about the work jammed between the fence and the blade about made me sick since I can imagine that I am there as you describe it. Oh, and I love the pusher block. Keeps you fingers far away from the blade...

[@gazorsip69]

I have been struggling with some weird angle bevel cuts for external corners for trim around Plasterboard pillars. That double sided tape and the extra piece of wood I think is my answer to finding the right angle. Thanks mate, i really appreciate you sharing your experience 👍 😀

[@R4wF4ce]

Ever since finding this channel, I've been binging it every day. While there's tons of useful advice, that last tip at the end would have helped very much in a project I did during school that had me resort to using a band saw to freehand some miters. Now maybe I'll actually finish it. After all, it's sitting right by my right foot.

[@louisshambarger2230]

You are correct. Although I am not new to table saws, I did learn something new to me. I like the double stick tape idea although I don’t know when I will ever need it. I’ll remember it.

[@nathanscott1764]

I would love to see you make your tablesaw sled. Have you made a video showing how to make it? If so how do I find it? Thanks. Also you are a very articulate speaker. You videos show you are very knowledgeable, clear, and educational. I grew up in the wood shop. My dad was a Carpenter, Woodworker, and painter. Though he did all of that his love for woodworking shined through more so than any other skill he acquired. Even though I grew up learning the rules, methods, and dangers of woodworking your videos serve as good reminders of what I learned growing up. Again, thanks for the videos.

[@godfreyverdade2324]

Thank you, I am just beginning down this path of woodworking...I have a Ryobi Table Saw I picked up recently, I am looking forward to picking up the miter gauge after this video. Thanks

[@monkeyslap]

I'm greener than a country bumpkin when it comes to carpentry, and I'm only in the process of scoping out necessary tools, etc. for the backlog of house projects I've got going on. This video is really helping me mentally prepare for the types of cuts I'll need to be doing, and some best practices for achieving them. Thanks!

[@kevingeaney7741]

Very well explained, I got a lot from it even though I have years of experience. Most instructors talk about the alignment of the blade to the slot when the blade is at 90deg, however very few ever mention checking it at 45deg. If the front and back measurements are the same at 90 it does not follow that they are still the same at 45. This is because the table surface may not be in the correct plane. This makes no difference at 90 but matters a lot at 45. At 45, if the measurement from the slot to the back of the blade is not the same as at the front, the work will bind on the back (either L or R side) as it passes. Either the back or the front of the table needs to be raised up with shims to correct it.

[@markprather775]

Thank you, James, your tips are very helpful!

[@dougc78]

I’ve been a hobbyist woodworker for a very long time and I still learned a couple of tips and tricks from your video. Thanks and keep up the great work

[@cbarnettcti123]

The information is great and very useful. I am a weekend woodworker, and have learned a lot from your channel. But what I really appreciate is your delivery. Your voice is calm and measured. You don't shout to get a point across. You don't fumble with words. Your cadence is remarkably pleasant. You carefully distinguish fact from opinion. I'm a scientist in "real life", so I appreciate a calm, factual presentation.

[@StumpyNubs]

Thank you very much!

[@raymontella2251]

One of the best video’s on tips. Very useful and great info. Thanks. Love your no nonsense and straight to the info approach.

[@rhzamora4]

I had to make 18 1-ft long wedges with 60-degree sides to fit the inside angles of hexagon stackable shelves. The double-sided tape saved my fingers. Great tip. Setting my table saw to 30-degrees made the vertical angle cuts a piece of cake.

[@olivepressdesign]

Love your videos, knowledge and personality. Thank you !!

[@markyakubovsky3380]

James, the only thing missing in this series is that Redwings cup of yours. LOL- Hey I have an autographed Gordie Howe poster and puck on my wall behind me. Love your channel man- I have been an iron worker for years so picking up woodworking is very different for me. Many thx for all the teaching. Yak

[@boastboy]

Gosh, James, I want to sincerely thank you for your truly informative videos. As a newb woodworker, my confidence has increased in leaps and bounds by watching your videos. I’m not foolish enough to think I’ll be making kitchen cabinets tomorrow but I’m certainly more prepared to face the challenges of using a table saw, and to be fair, many other things. Thank you for your time and effort that you put into these videos.

[@grahamparsons6620]

Great tips , great series, your never too old to learn or refresh what you may have forgotten 👍👍👍

[@BrianJamesWessel]

Your videos are great....you have a natural talent as an instructor.....thank you so much...really enjoy them and have learned a lot of new 'tricks' that lend themselves to efficiency and safety!

[@muromets4929]

I am always amazed with the high level of detail and useful information in all your videos! Thank you

[@davidlamb3557]

A fantastic find! I'm a new woodworker and have just purchased a DeWalt table saw. This course is wonderful. Good on ya Stumpy.

[@michaelsanford8020]

Love your videos, love that you talk a lot,more information that way. Ive not started into things yet, still learning and attempting to get basic hand tools to go that route. You have likely the best how to vids ive seen and can reference any subject necessary when I do start. Bought a plane and mini plane and began getting the blades up to snuff using your tips for sharpening. I was amazed that I was actually able to get something on its way to being sharp as it needs to be. Thank you for being here.

[@tiffanyhackerspace8377]

Nice comment. Agreed :-)

[@daveweigle4090]

What an awesome video! These tips will make us all better and SAFER woodworkers. Thanks, james.

[@velixzeen]

cool vid and great pace. Off now to the plywood vid, thank you very much.

[@johnhood492]

I find your video's very easy to watch and very informative. They are helping me to learn how to safely use a tablesaw. Thank you and continue to keep making more videos as your input is valuable. Many thanks. John (U.K)

[@charliezembillas3932]

Thanks for the tips on bevel edge, will be very helpful on my upcoming project.

[@jacktrotter5357]

Have you tested miter gauges for table saws? Do you have a favorite? Your videos are great .

[@johnparker2636]

Some great tips here - thank you.

[@camaro375]

I appreciate the tablesaw tip my tablesaw goes from 0 to 45 but with your video tip I was able to cut my 50° angle a little hairy running the board up on edge but I got the job done with some help with some feather boards🙂 Thank again

[@mgrotowski]

Thanks for another great tutorial. Your videos are informative and you don’t talk down to us. Some of the presenters on you tube think they’re the best thing since sliced bread! You don’t come across that way and I appreciate it. Please keep posting.

[@briandean2296]

As normal, very informative video, you never cease to amaze me with your knowledge. keep the video's coming because i have learnt so much. Well done.

[@tommarchner]

Excellent! High quality video. Lots of good info (and no gimmicks).

[@juntjoonunya9216]

How do you cut a super low/long bevel like 15 degrees? Oh, you explained at the end. Crafty! I'd have sat there for days trying to figure it out lol

[@julian5586]

I just watched this video to learn more about the difference between a miter and a bevel. I have not seen the first three videos in this series, but I will now take the time to watch them. I really enjoyed this one and learned a lot from it. It was nice to see that the video was well done and the presenter clearly was very well spoken, prepared, and a well seasoned woodworker with years of experience that he is very good at sharing and showing to others. That makes him a cut above many of the other videos available out there. Thank you.

[@iflovessonice]

Best definition for mitre vs bevel👌

[@harvestofpeace.therese]

Thanks! One of these tips solved our beveled edge issue!

[@jakevice]

I spent like 4 hours last weekend trying to safely cut a very acute angle and eventually had some ridiculous jig started and realized I should chill out and go watch how real woodworkers have done it once I relaxed. I just put that project on hold and still happened to watch this video. Thank you. I love simple solutions.

[@FishingforViews]

Love watching your videos, I’ve used power tools for years but just got a new table saw, so refreshing my self on the safety 😊

[@billyjay4672]

Really good job James show more please.

[@nikkibobbyandersom2769]

My son and I love these videos my man and like the previous comment the articulation and how you explain things and love of the hobby have really inspired and helped me out. This was a very intimidating saw at first and my boy really wants to get into the hobby but when he hears your explanations on why kick back happens it has given him a respect of this saw. And I still won't let him use it just yet. Hope to see more brother thanks.

[@tony5006]

Hi James, thank you this set of videos aimed at me, a new wood worker. I find them very easy to watch and follow. Also you do not come across as condescending like some others I could mention. Tony.

[@lpanebr]

Loving all your videos. I hope to remember all those tips when I'm in the workshop. It just occurred to me that a printable tips cheatsheet would be very nice!

[@careyholman]

So much information, delivered succinctly. Thanks!

[@merleschmidt8772]

Stumpy, I love this vid. Most of your ideas are exactly like I instruct my students. I think I will show this video as well as demonstrate, since we seem to be living in a video generation. Thanks again

[@jbb5470]

Great tip with the dimple and I like the jig! Very informative video, all very well explained!!

[@highpocket888]

Excellent tips and instructions. starting a furniture business and I appreciate any tips to make a more efficient and precise piece of furniture (art). Thanks, God Bless. subbed!

[@petervanrensburg4171]

Thank you for showing

[@davidharvey5672]

Thankyou I enjoyed watching. I'm struggling with my table saw due to the way it's constructed. At the end of the day it's what i can afford but can be frustrating as the bade rocks as you wind it up and down. I have to remember to set the angle on the up wind so that if I need more or less depth of cut i finish movement with the pressure in the right direction. One of those digital devices would surely help. Cheaper saw benches also go out of alignment with the slots if they get gummed up as the added strain on the peculiar hinge arrangement causes twist. You answered my previous query about a bevel stop too, thanks.

[@pedroarellano4266]

That's it. You are officially my favorite Woodworking KZbinr! Dang, that was great! Thank you!!!!

[@kennethspengler9934]

Great stuff. Anxiously awaiting video #5. Thanks James.
